whats the point of all the gadgetry if the main purposes (as a phone and internet) are basically inefficient...?
(he also said that making a call on the phone takes about 6 "touches/keystrokes"... that to me is ridiculous)

Why bash it if you don't understand it?
It works on AT&T edge which downloads at 25kbps, and some people even have commented that EDGE got a recent speed boost. It was designed to lock into wifi signals because the fact of the matter is that usually you can find a signal everywhere you go and because wifi uses much less energy and isn't a battery drain like 3G. On top of that 3G is expensive. Nobody pays for the service because of that expense. When it comes out in Europe they say it may link to the 3G networks because costs are lower there. So the speed thing is BS. It works great at loading internet pages.
And I'm not understand the 6 clicks thing. Making calls was really easy from my playing with it.
The only thing that's negative right now to me is the storage capacity. Nothing is perfect, but there are tons of positive reviews about it such as the one in the NYTimes and most people agree it's a great product.
